Parent Report Children's Abilities (PARCA) - abbreviated version

The Parent Report of Children's Abilities (PARCA) is a questionnaire used to assess the developmental progress in areas such as communication, socialization, self-help skills, and cognitive abilities of children aged 1-4 years. Parents received a questionnaire with 9 wooden cubes to administer several playful tasks with their child. The PARCA consists of 22 parent-administered items regarding assign matching-to-sample, block building and imitation, as well as 26 parent-report questions assessing quantitative skills, spatial abilities, symbolic play, planning and organising, adaptive behaviors and memory.
